Dealing with value perceptions: from customers and the market perspective.
How to bridge the gap between market capitalization and value stream management (VSM):
- Market Capitalization (Market Cap):
- Definition: Market capitalization is the total dollar value of all outstanding shares of a company. It is calculated by multiplying the current share price by the number of outstanding shares.
- Significance: Market analysts often use market cap to designate a company’s size. Many stock market indexes are weighted by market capitalization.
- Fluctuations: Market cap can fluctuate greatly from month to month or even from day-to-day due to changes in share prices.
- Limitations: It does not measure the equity value of a company. Only a thorough analysis of a company’s fundamentals can provide that insight. Additionally, market cap does not determine the amount the company
would cost to acquire in a merger transaction. A better method for calculating the price of acquiring a business outright is the enterprise value.
- Value Stream Management (VSM):
- Definition: VSM is a lean business practice that improves the way teams deliver high-quality customer experiences. It focuses on two critical aspects:
- Delivery Speed: How quickly customer-requested features or updates are delivered.
- Realized Value: Whether the customer realizes value from those changes.
- Roots in Lean Principles: VSM’s roots trace back to lean manufacturing and the Toyota Production System (TPS) in the 1950s. It aims to shorten time-to-value and deliver higher-quality products.
- Benefits of VSM:
- Faster delivery of customer-centric products, increasing competitiveness and revenue.
- Better customer experiences, leading to positive reviews and referrals.
- Improved employee engagement with cross-functional teams, enabling a holistic view instead of silos.
- Data-driven decision-making for future investments.
- Connecting Market Cap and VSM:
- While market cap reflects the market’s perception of a company’s worth, VSM focuses on delivering value efficiently.
- VSM helps connect the C-Suite with Agile and DevOps teams, aligning around customer satisfaction.
- By managing value streams effectively, organizations can streamline product delivery, adapt to market changes, and deliver more predictably.
In summary, market cap represents the financial market’s valuation of a company, while VSM ensures efficient delivery of customer value. Both perspectives are essential for a comprehensive understanding of an organization’s capacity
of value-delivery.
